This step is optional; set both dips to right-hand position to disable the feature.
Additionally, front-panel switches 5 and 6 are ignored for channels operating in
pulse mode.
2. Press the Enter button for five seconds to save the configuration to flash
memory or continue with other configuration activities described in this
section.
Specifying the Type of Communication Used by the Channel
Status Monitor
Contact closure cards indicate the status of each channel via the front-panel LEDs.
The state of an LED corresponds directly to the channel state. When the LED is on,
the channel relay is closed indicating a call. When the LED is not on, the channel
relay is open.
Additionally, a contact closure card can be set such that closed channel relays
activate an audible tone (buzzer) as well as the front-panel LED for the channel.
The audible channel status tone is set via front-panel dip switch one as follows:
1. Position front-panel dip switch 1 to enable or disable the audible channel
status monitor. Use the figure below as a guide.
